Hi, I had a 71 years ago and looking to recreate that front end on a project worthy 79 that I found.

I prefer the color-matching back bumper of the 79 to the small chrome bumper of the 71.

Big picture I want to go the LS restomod route VS trying to find a 455 HD.

I'm hoping to get some help with that and paint and body repair tips and tricks.

The 79 is a 301 Formula.

I want to go with a spotless look.

Are there oppertunities where I might swap my Formula hood for an Esprit hood and trade the 301 and front of the 79 for other parts?

I live in western Pennsylvania.

Info on any area resources from swap meets to tuners would be greatly appreciated, and of course, I'd reciprocate with any information that might help another.

Glad to have found this fourm!!!
Thank You!!
